A Time to Kill. Signed, First Edition
I have a copy of John Grisham's A Time to Kill. It is a signed, first
edition. The ISBN is 0-922066-03-5 The Publisher is Wynwood Press dated 1989. The dust cover price is $18.95. My wife bought this in a grocery store in Mississippi before Grisham became famous. Any opinions of it's value? Thanks! John |

I'm not sure how many printings the Wynwood edition went through, but is it definitely a first edition? If so, pour yourself a stiff drink. Sit down. Relax.

Congratulations! -- John http://rarebooksinjapan.com Once, a long time ago, Mr. Grisham came to Blytheville, AR to sign this book. He had a box of them in his car. I got two of them, one that night, when he inscribed a copy to me, and a few months later when I bought one he'd signed for store stock. When he came back for The Firm, before it became a bestseller and hit movie, I talked to him about ATTK. He indicated there were approx 10k copies of this edition, but a large number of them had been pulped when returned. So, unless the now defunct Wynwood Press kept records that haven't been destroyed of the number of returns, we really don't have any idea how many survived. Over the years, as he has returned to Blytheville, several people have brought copies to his signings and he has all but outrightly refused to sign them, saying they are more valuable without his signature. I doubt this, but there is only one on ABE that I could find and the seller is asking $4250.00. Since it's the only one on ABE, that price, IMHO, isn't necessarily what the book is worth. I only got $2700.00 for the non-inscribed one of mine... Gary |
